How would you like to start making a cake, only as you set the butter and sugar to cream you realise that you didn't have any eggs? No, it didn't happen to me but it was touch and go for a minute. Not good when I'm baking banananana cake for a sick work friend.
phoebesmum, your present arrived and it's fantastic! A sparkley, girly evening bag! How did you know that I would love it ;~)
OMG, Charisma Carpenter is on Back to You and she's playing a character who has a son named Xander! How camp is that???
Speaking of which, there's a very interesting article on moonlight.com that discusses what TV actors really earn. It makes for quite an entertaining read and also goes a long way to explaining why, just when we've grown to love a certain recurring character in a show, the actor ups and leaves for a more lucrative job elsewhere: How Much DOES An Actor Make?.
As of tonight I have a new next door neighbour. She (he?) seems to be a little bit younger than my ex-neighbour who I hardly heard a peep from the whole time he was here. I hope he (she?) realises that this is a quiet block in a quiet street with quiet residents who will not tolerate a repeat of the great Grease is the Word debacle of 2008.
Today I very especially brilliant at work and even managed to smooth some extremely ruffled feathers. How the hell did I become so efficient??
Just then I got all excited when I found out that one of my favourite due South authors - one who seems to have drifted away from the fandom - had written a new dS story. Then I realised that it was Ray/Ray (a pairing I cannot bring myself to read (sorry to those on my flist who write it)) and my woohoo! moment died :~(
My birthday presents arrived today and I am now the proud owner of the 25th anniversary DVD edition of Brideshead Revisited (God, is it really twenty five years???) and the limited edition box set of Brokeback Mountain. Very good timing to, cos I'd just run out of West Wing episodes to watch.
Once again red wine is my friend.
*hic!*
